The Current Age of Batman Villains

This is a list of Current Age Batman Villains. It covers Batman's enemies from the beginning of the New 52, September 2011, until now(ish).

Originally,I wanted to use Hesoid's 5 ages for the comic book periods, because lumping everything from 1986 until now as the Modern Age seems too much. However, when I got to 99 villains in the Iron Age, I decided to start a new age so I guess I've departed from the Theogony.

The list is chronological and the focus is on Bat-villains, so if the character is from someone else's rogues gallery (like Weather Wizard) they won't make it in but if the character is a general villain (like Solomon Grundy) they will. I also don't include villains that Batman only encounters when he's part of a team.

The list is up to issue 30.

List items

1. Dollmaker

The first new Batman Villain introduced in the New 52. Barthon Mathis also leads The Dollmaker's Family, which consists of Bentley, Matilda (later renamed Dollhouse),Jack-in-the-Box and Orifice.

2. Nobody

While his father, Henri Ducard, didn't quite fit the bill for my list, Morgan had no problem putting on a suit and going full on Bat-Villain.

3. Smush

Smush was first seen as several distinct people and then later became one messy villain.

4. Lincoln March

Of course there are questions surrounding who Lincoln March really is, but for now, Batman vol. 2 issue 1, serves as when he was first introduced as an adversary for Batman.

5. White Rabbit

6. Mr. Toxic

Mr. Toxic? Well sort of. Talk about a confusing character. Marder's story involves multiple clones, a particle accelerator, merging and separating from a clone multiple times, and looking an awful lot like the new Professor Radium.

7. Court of Owls

The devious underground manipulators of Gotham City. Their enforcers are a group of superhuman assassins known as the Talons. In order to keep confusion to a minimum because of Calvin Rose and William Cobb both using the name Talon, I'm simply including all of the Talons under the Court of Owls.

8. Mr. Mosaic

9. Snakeskin

10. Eli Strange

The son of Hugo Strange.

11. Hypnotic

12. Imperceptible Man

13. Mr. Combustible

14. Jill Hampton

15. Birthday Boy

16. Goatboy

17. Terminus

It's a shame that terminus and his team didn't have a formal name. I'd much rather have them taking up one spot on the list rather than four.

18. Bat Head

Maybe I'm being to hard on Bat Head and his friends.

19. Bootface

Who knows, maybe Bootface will be the next Riddler.

20. Scallop

Scallop... well she was in Arkham war.

21. Penumbra

22. Ignatius Ogilvy

Emperor Penguin. Emperor Blackgate.

23. Sumo

24. League of Smiles

The Merrymaker and his Joker worshiping allies The Dentist, Mr. Happy, Torch and Annie McCloud. So nice to have the team formalized so that I don't have to give up four spots to a bunch of characters that most likely will be forgotten in a few years.
